Abstract:  Online teaching and learning tools are becoming widespread in the
educational environment. As such, the Learning Management System (LMS) is no
longer the sole source of all online educational tools.  In response to
this, MSU has adopted a strategy of capitalizing on the ability of the LMS
to act as a hub which leverages connections to various external online
educational tools. By incorporating this strategy into building a more
robust Desire2Learn environment, MSU is actively adding connections every
semester. During this presentation, learn what tools MSU has already
connected to Desre2Learn and which tools are on the horizon.

Bio: Michael Zakhem is Assistant Director of IT Services Teaching and
Learning. In this role he focuses on the delivery of online tools to further
the teaching, learning, and research mission of the university. He is also a
graduate student in the Higher, Adult, and Lifelong Education program at
Michigan State, where his research interest is on the convergence of
information technology and academia within higher education institutions.
